A gay H0

New to Glasgow’s Hogmanay celebrations this year is The Pink Stage, featuring extroverted and outrageous DJs and performers from Glasgow’s happening gay scene. The only criteria for acts on this stage is that they have to be ready to party.

The Pink Stage, in Virginia Street, is intended as a reflection and celebration of the sizeable gay community in Glasgow's Merchant City. Accordingly, many of the gay businesses in the area are sponsoring and supporting the stage.

First up on the night is a showcase of artists from Academy Street Records, a Scottish label specialising in commercial dance. This is followed by performances from dance groups Wild Women Of Wonga and Icon and an up-for-it set from DJ Michelle, veteran of the legendary Flesh and Poptastic nights. Funky drummers SheBoom will ., , be banging at the bells, and DJ Ms Alston (Shirley's Temple) will start V

January on a high with his hard house thing. Ghsgow gets its ﬁst pink number at Hogmanay
